JUDGE UPHOLDS COUNCIL;
ROBBER* IN DISTRICT;
MAN BOUND, GAGGED
SEWER WORK TO START
Police reports Sunday disclosed the
workings of a gang of highwaymen
operating in the Mount Scott district.
One man was threatened with death,
bound, gagged and robbed of 110 and
a broken watch. Two other men in
an automobile were held up and one
was taken a mile down the road,
rubbed und turned loon«.
Ben Orated, who lives alone at 4124
Seventy-first street, said he was
awakened about 10 o’clock Saturday
night by the sound of someone try
ing to open a winodw. Ho rose and
went to the kitchen just in time to
gee a man climb through the window.
A scuffle followed, during which Or-
sted was threatened with a revolver
and told to tell where he had his
money hidden. A short time ago he
hud lent a friend $1,000, and believes
th« robbers learned of this and be
lieved he had a large sum of money
in the house. Another robber fol
lowed the first man in and the two
tied Orated and gagged him. During
this process Orated heard a third man
moving about outside the house. The
thieves searched for the money, but
could find only $10 and a broken
watch. They threatened to throw
their victim into Johnson creek unless
he told where his hoard was hidden.
After they left Orsted’s cries for
held drew the attention of Eddie Den
ny, a small son of Mrs. William Den
ny, a neighbor, who cut the ropes
ami released the victim.
Several hours later a similar group
of robbers held up W. Ed meads, 1490
East Bumside street, and R. Suapp,
1150 East Eighteenth street, while
they were driving along Eighty-sec
ond street near the Kendall station.
The bandits were also in a car, but
it had no lights nor license plates.
Ed meads was ordered out his machine
and into that of the robbers, driven
a mile up the road, where he was
robbed of $3.

ing the governors.
The city council Wednesday morn
ing ended the long drawn out Foster
Road sewer controversy, originated
before the war started, by awarding
the contract to build the seventy-
eight-inch monolithic sewer to J. F.
Shea at a cost of $319,911.49.
Shea’s bond is 20.7 per cent under
the estimate of City Engineer Ijtur-
gaard and is a direct saving of $18,-
000 to property owners, owing to the
fact that he agreed to lower his first
bid to meet an alternative, irregular
bid of the Hauser Construction com
pany.
To Start Work Soon.
Work on the big project which will
stretch over a mile from Sixty-second
street to Ninety-second street, will
■tart in about a month, according to
Shea.
Eventually the sewer will
empty into the Willamette river and
take care of the sewage and drain
age water of the Mount Scott and
surrounding districts.
Commissioner Mann asked prior to
the award of the contract whether
the general fund of the city would
be protected in case the injunction
suit, recently denied in circuit court
to J. W. Chilson, was appealed to the
supreme court and reversed. It is
believed that Shea will come to some
agreement on the matter with the
city before proceeding with the work.
Renders Opinion.
City Attorney Grant advised the
council that he had received no notice
of appeal to the supreme court and
that in his opinion the city could go
ahead without any fear of the decision
being reversed.
